Is it possible to create a GPO to have an IE window (going
to a specific site) popup on all clients machine at a specific time?

I think this is asking too much of GPO.

What you need is a script which can be run from group policy 
or to create a task and copy it to many comps..

1) use WMI scripts 



WMI Script examples (you can use this script in group policy)

http://www.microsoft.com/technet/scriptcenter/scripts/os/tasks/default.mspx

or tool like WinAT, which will allows you to schedule task on multiple computers.

 WinAT is available in NT/2000 resource kit.

2) to create a task on one machine and copy it to many machines
on single machine, schedule a task with command line option 
 
cmd /c start http://myintranetsiteurl
and save it as say mypopup

Now you will see that, this task is saved as  c:\windows\Tasks\mypopup.job

now create a list of computers in a txt file with each computername on single line
say computers.txt

and run following command from the same machine

for /F %A in (computers.txt) do copy c:\windows\tasks\mypopup.job \\%A\admin$\tasks

once you are through, just check on some machines it is actually scheduled.

again, when you are ready to remove them just run 
for /F %A in (computers.txt) do del  \\%A\admin$\tasks\mypopup.job

This is quick way to do it..
(by the way, Task Scheduler service shud be running on all comps and
for copying the job file you should be logged in with admin user for
all comps)


I hope this helps...
